Justify why your nation's capital is not located in the center of your mainland or in a port

Justify why your nation's capital is not located in the center of your mainland or in a port.

Not giving any names, but it hurts my sight to see some of your maps.

Because we are a federation.

>hurr durr centralism is good

nuke madrid

because it was still uninhabited wilderness

This

It has been the largest city in the hemisphere for hundreds of years, even before Spaniards arrived

now THAT'S what i call centrally planned

Our capital used to be in the center

But seriously now it used to be pretty central before we lost 25% of our territory.

Sort of

Not really
Because modern Germany was founded by Prussia
An earlier Prussian state might actually have Berlin lying pretty central

oath bruh our capital's gay as shit like some lesotho country planning

I like where London is, because it's fucking miles away from me.

Do you mean geographic centre or population centre?

Our capital is right between our two most populous cities because they couldn't agree on which one should be capital, so its about the population centre of the country.

If we had it in the geographical centre, it would be like in alice springs in the middle of a remote inaccessible arid wasteland which would be just retarded.

But we are
We moved from Kyoto to Tokyo because Tokyo is in the middle and suitable for a lot of things

Spain, on the other hand is because Castile is an expansionist cunt that invaded every cunt possible around them so your capital is at center
Truly disgusting

Implying centralism is having your capital in the center of your territory

Center of the original 13 states.
Isn't on a port because the constitution gives congress control over the capital area and obviously a state wouldn't want to give up a port city.

In silenzio animale.

>it would be like in alice springs in the middle of a remote inaccessible arid wasteland which would be just retarded.
or absolutely awesome.

Why don't you move your capital to Jew York? Sometimes I forget DC exists

>because Castile is an expansionist cunt that invaded every cunt possible around them so your capital is at center
But Madrid was not the capital back then!

Why would we move it when DC is a city that was literally built up around the idea of being our capital?

For a number of reasons, the founders didn’t want to put the capital in a preexisting major city like NYC, and just picked an empty area that was roughly halfway between the North and South and built a totally new city to be the capital.

Nobody goes to our capital anyway unless you've got business there, usually relating to politics. Like, its the most artificial city. It was created specifically to be a capital, so it didn't grow naturally like other cities, it doesn't have native residents, its just like, a purpose-built capital and the only people who go there or live there are those who have business in politics.

Buenos Aires was just a port.

>Why don't you move your capital to Jew York?
>the constitution gives congress control over the capital area

St*ckholm should be nuked.

Where the fuck is Slovakia? I want to make fun at them. I want to point and laugh.

>imblyign
if it wasn't that fucking gommie, Singapore is rightfully our clay and port

Americans have always had a touchy obsession with putting our capitals in places that aren’t the biggest cities in a state as a compromise to the rural/urban political divide. We have even had autistic fights before over their location

Nebraska’s capital came to be Lincoln because some absolute madman stole the state Archives from Omaha and brought them to Lincoln. In Texas once, officials from Houston went to Austin with the intention of moving the Capital to the biggest city in the state, but the Austin natives literally fired cannons at them and threatened to fight to the death to keep the Capital in Austin.

>New York City isn't even the capital of New York state

But it is in the center

Between Upper (Anglo) Canada and Lower (Franco) Canada, on the St. Lawrence River (for easy transport).

It is

Washington DC only exists because Southern retards got butthurt with it being in Philadelphia, even though that was on the Mason-Dixon line...so Maryland, a non-butthurt Southern state, was cucked of its land (also Virginia but they got butthurt and took back clay and it fucked up the perfect diamond).
So now our capital is a bunch of neo-Classical buildings built on top of swampy mudflats and filled to the brim with blacks who escaped slavery...but residents of DC aren't represented anyway. It's kinda awkward because most DC blacks work in the public or service sector so they are pretty much modern day slaves serving the uber-Liberal champagne socialist democrats who pollute this town

t. I live in the People's Republic of Northern Virginia (P. R. NOVA)

Fuck non-unitary states.

at the beginning France was just the North
Clovis when invading the Kingdom of Syagrius put his capital in Paris as it was the center

>every single federal state is a shithole
Really makes you think.

> centralism is related to the geographical centre
Rednecks, everyone.
